Painting Kitchen Cabinets

So I decided on doing a fairly difficult job of refinishing the doors only on a unit I recently purchased for use as a rental. Decided I wanted to do something fairly different...painting or antiquing them to a black shade or something similar. I plan on keeping the cabinet boxes as they are (Cherry/Mahogany reddish color) and the interiors are in perfect condition, the only changes I want are on... [more]

So I decided on doing a fairly difficult job of refinishing the doors only on a unit I recently purchased for use as a rental. Decided I wanted to do something fairly different...painting or antiquing them to a black shade or something similar. I plan on keeping the cabinet boxes as they are (Cherry/Mahogany reddish color) and the interiors are in perfect condition, the only changes I want are on the doors themselves. Any ideas on which product to use? I have to go with Paint as when I was sanding, I went too deep sanding away the veneer and was left with different types of wood as their base doors. There are up to 4 kinds of wood per door when I was expecting the same wood to be used in all doors so I could have used an ebony stain. If I stain as they are now, it would look so goofy as each different part of the door would be a different color as stain will make them all different on the differing wood types....Oak, Pine, Cherry, ect. Anyone have any ideas on which paint to use to get the desired results? I want a matte finish sort of dull paint and primer as I have an open kitchen and my DR furniture is all black with inlaid pieces combined with Mahogany or Oak pieces combined. EX: a buffet with black doors and with Mahogany top and door surrounds. Ideas? Thanks in advance!!! [less]
